But when I read the word Pisa, I was thinking of pizza. I thought this tower was a place to buy pizza. It must be the best place to buy pizza in the world, I thought. Many years later finally saw the Leaning Tower. I knew then that it was Pisa and no pizza. But there was still something special about it for me. The tower got its name because it really does lean to one side. Some people want to try to fix it. They are afraid it may fall over and they dont like it leans over the city. I do not think its a good idea to try to fix it. The tower probably will not fall down. It is 600 years old. Why should anything happen to it now? And, if you ask me, I like what it looks like. To me it is a very human kind of leaning. Nothing is perfect, it seems to say. And who cares? Why do people want things to be perfect? Imperfect things may be more interesting. Lets take the tower in Pisa. Why is it so famous? There are many other older, more beautiful towers in Italy. But Pisa tower is the most famous. People come from all over the world to see it. ( )66This passage is about _.A. Italian pizza B. Italys problemsC. How the Leaning Tower of Pisa got its nameD. Why the writer likes Pisa( )67The writer used to think Pisa _.A. in Spain B. not very famousC. not the same as pizzaD. the same as pizza( )68The Leaning Tower of Pisa is _.A. modern B. falling down C. 600 years old D. 60 years old( )69The writer _.A. doesnt like what the tower looks likeB. likes what the tower looks like C. thinks its the most beautiful tower in ItalyD. doesnt like towers( )70The writer likes the Leaning Tower of Pisa because _.A. its old B. its perfect C. it sells pizza D. its imperfectD Can we make animals work for us? Some scientists(科学家)think that one day we can teach animals to do a lot of things for people. They say that in a film or on TV you may see elephants, monkeys, dogs or some other animals doing a lot of things. If you watch carefully, you may find those animals are always given a little food to eat after they have done something. Scientists say that people can teach many different animals to do some easy work if they know they will get something to eat.We all know elephants can carry large logs(原木) and dogs can look after houses. And we can even teach animals to work in factories. In America, for example, people use apes(猿猴)to help make cars. Scientists think that those big monkeys may, one day, drive trains. Now people are trying to let them do something just like man.根据短文内容从下列选项中选出最佳答案。 ()71.
